iPhone owners are annoying spouses worldwide. iPhones are too addictive, and I just can't put mine down. I am going to tell you about my three favorite apps and then I have to get to my support group! I hope they are prepared for my withdrawals from Pandora Radio, Facebook and TwitterFon.
I have to admit I had Pandora Radio on my phone forever, but only recently had that 'aha!' moment, realizing its true potential. My current music is getting played out, and I want some variety. Instead of searching for new bands, Pandora Radio has you type in your favorite band...
